Heroes in Pampanga: Francisco Maniago
Francisco Maniago and its revolt (Ca. 1660) “pag
aalsa ni maniago”
1660 The “Pampangos”*, as the hardest and “the most warlike and prominent people of these Island”*, raised their will against the Spaniards. The Pampangos - Trained in the “Military art”* by the Spaniards themselves. From the perspective of the Spanish crown domination: “3 Pampangos and 1 Spaniard was equal to 4 Spaniards”* and saw the “loyal population”* of Pampanga as honoured by the introduction of the Christian faith and infrastructure. But the population was punished for the "alleged prosperity"* with hard forced labour. The first treatment of the resistance fighter: The Pampangos resistance burns down their own accommodation because of the unfair treatment by the wood-cutting “Overseers”*. Don Francisco Maniago, a native “master of the camp for its Majesty”* from Mexico Pampanga becomes the leader of this revolt. After the Pampangos (under leadership of Don Francisco Maniago) send out compounding letters to other provinces as well the closing the rivers mouths in Bacolor (in order to stop the commerce with Manila), the Spaniards have to solve this internal problem quick (internal problem in the view of the colonial rulers). A bust of Francisco Maniago is part of the Heroes Gallery in Luneta Park (Rizal Park) Manila.
